Case Study: Mimecast reduces security overhead by 50% with Elastic Security

Mimecast deploys Elastic to defend its systems against sophisticated cyberattacks and reduce overheads by 50%

Mimecast, a leading enterprise security software provider, needed a better way to defend its own systems against increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks while reducing the burden and cost of its legacy security operations. The company was struggling with disparate data sources, slow SIEM onboarding, and too much manual work, so it turned to Elastic Security and Elastic Cloud on AWS for a more centralized, scalable approach.

With support from Elastic Consulting and Elastic Professional Services, Mimecast migrated to a unified Elastic-based security environment that accelerated data integration, simplified log analysis, and enabled faster detection and remediation. The results included a 95% reduction in severe incidents, a 50% cut in analyst hours spent on security management, and a deployment completed in just four months, while also lowering costs and improving productivity.
